Whatever size he builds, French-Canadian luthier Mario Beauregard prides his guitars on balance and clarity, and that this OM-C has in spades. Sparkling trebles are countered by a deep but controlled bass. As rich sounding and easy-playing as it is right out of the case, you get the sense that this guitar is just going to open up and develop even more nuance in no time. But with tonewoods like Swiss moon spruce and Brazilian rosewood, is that any surprise? Mario's classy aesthetics, from the black finish neck and refined headstock shape, add the perfect touch.

This pre-owned 2022 OMC is in excellent condition, and comes in a lightweight hardshell case.
